Sometimes it seems that they have taken a particular data base off line for a while, as if they are 'tweaking' it. Then it reappears.

Do you use Ancestry.co.uk? Last week I had similar problems and it seemed that every time I tried to view records the site would switch over to Ancestry.com instead and would then say I needed a subscription to view the records.

I did contact Ancestry and to be honest I didn't understand their reply - I'll copy it below:-

I just left it and it cleared up by the next day.

Anyone else having problems viewing records today? I'm a fully paid up member with worldwide membership but when I try to view records it's asking me to subscribe. Have checked "my account" & it's showing as fully paid up.
Any suggestions anyone?
